Madhuri's big break came in 1988 with the film "Tezaab," a romantic action drama that paired her with actor Salman Khan. The film's success marked the beginning of her rise to fame, and she went on to appear in a string of hit films throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. Her performances in movies like "Ram Lakhan" (1989), "Patthar Ke Bandhan" (1990), and "Chol Radha Chalya" (1990) cemented her status as a leading lady in Bollywood.
